  • NYC Restaurants

    I'm going to be in NYC tomorrow night in Chelsea, Manhattan. Can any of you city dwellers recommend a good 3 star restaurant to me? 14 or so diners.

          I'm just trying to find something not too expensive, but has good food and atomosphere.

            What's that? We don't have anything like that here. Probably a US only thing.

                  Surely, since we don't go that low.

                    Nice bit of Google, that. Only three minutes from Krazy's riposte for you to find out that higher is better, and then respond accordingly.

                        It is not too far from Chelsea to the Meat Packing District. Much better places there. I was partial to Pastis, but they've gone down hill a bit. There is a new hotel there (Gansevoort) with a great Japanese restaurant in it (Ono).

                          I think he's asking the wrong crowd about medium-to-fine dining in NYC. If Molly Bloom, Boris, or Starchild doesn't bother to chime in, what hope do the rest of us have???

                            What are you talking about. I go to NYC on an expense account fairly regularly.

                              If you must stayin Chelsea, then Man Ray is my choice. Hmm, I do notice a predilection torwards Asian places.
